WMU has determined a temporary location for the yet-unformed medical school. Beginning in May, the school’s dean Dr. Hal B. Jenson will work in office space at the Bronson Upjohn building on John Street in downtown Kalamazoo.

But WMU President John M. Dunn said facilities for the school are still under discussion.

As part of developing the school, a number of committees are at work, he said, including a curriculum group, another focused on finances and another on a home for the WMU School of Medicine.

“The facilities committee is hard at work and assessing various options and opportunities. We have a number of them, but we have not made that determination as of this date," Dunn said at the press conference today.

Officials also say there is no timeline for determining where the bricks-and-mortar school will be located.

But the committee studying it is led by WMU's director of campus planning, David Dakin. Also serving on the group is Eric Buzzell of Borgess, John Rawsthorne of Borgess and Mike Way of Bronson.
